Chapter 20: You Are Blind

The sudden appearance of the middle-aged man and his unexpected actions made Zhang Wei realize that the other party had already discovered his "peculiarity."

No one in this world is a fool; since the two of them were inextricably linked to this incident, those people would not fail to turn him and Bai Guagua inside out. Checking surveillance footage was just child's play; they would certainly be able to spot some irregularities.

Furthermore, just because things are quiet on the official front, one shouldn't assume they would let those Awakened run wild. The Celestial Empire is not the Great Ming Empire; it has never been careless or lax regarding the grassroots of society.

However, Zhang Wei was not particularly worried. As long as Awakening a Superpower is not an isolated case, there is no need to fear being captured and used as a lab rat. After all, with such a massive population base, there will never be a shortage of Awakened.

Besides, he had only made the little hamster take a detour.

At the time of the incident, although Zhang Wei had the Awakened Bai Guagua by his side, this did not mean she could resist that bizarre Blood Flame—that was the kind of stuff that would spread over one's entire body if it touched even a little bit!

At the critical moment, he had no choice but to use those two pieces of junk he got from the Lucky Draw. One was a Rune he named "Pig Oil Blinds the Heart," and he didn't know the use of the other Rune yet, but he couldn't care about so much at that instant. He simply used both together, employing a two-pronged approach, and narrowly avoided the danger of being burned to death!

Thinking back on it, under the influence of the Rune, the little hamster quickly changed its target of impact to someone else. "Pig Oil Blinds the Heart" alone should not have been enough to cause this result. Could the function of the second Rune be to weaken one's sense of presence?

Or perhaps to transfer hatred?

To verify this guess, Zhang Wei began to hatch a wicked plan, his gaze eyeing every person on the street with ill intent.

There was a bald man with a tattoo ahead; should he run up and slap him hard on the back of the head?

Zhang Wei pondered it seriously. Referencing the case of the man running naked last time, he felt this was not very feasible—in principle, these two Runes seemed to be an extended application of Resentment emotions and could not completely bewilder a person's mind.

If the function was to transfer hatred or weaken presence, but he became the sole locked target of hatred, then no matter what, that person would be unable to ignore his existence.

After walking a few more steps, he saw a girl walking toward him, and Zhang Wei's eyes lit up.

It seemed to be an incredible existence, hey.

Golden hair showed a foreign and gorgeous style, the blue and white sailor suit set off youth and vitality, the exposed skin was fair and flawless, the cute twin tails showed an adorable innocence, and the spot where the black silk stockings met the hem of the skirt was a breathtaking flash of snow-white, making one wish to explore the truth of it...

If not for that height of 1.7 meters paired with a weight of at least over 200 jin, and the faintly visible stubble on the lips, Zhang Wei would not have felt it was so painful to the eyes.

So he walked up, intercepted the other party without losing politeness, and then smiled: "This classmate, has anyone ever told you that you look very much like Peppa's mother?"

The girl didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "Who is Peppa?"

This damn... aren't you an existence from the two-dimensional world? How can you not even know who Peppa is?

Zhang Wei had to hum twice with his nose: "I am Peppa Pig, oink oink, this is my mother, oink oink."

The girl's face turned completely black, her eyes quickly filled with rage, and she gritted her teeth: "What did you say?"

Absorbed Shen Xiaozhu's Resentment, +888

Zhang Wei was shocked on the spot... This damn, can one encounter an Awakened just by randomly teasing a girl on the street?

Looking at her arms, which were thicker than his own thighs, he suddenly became very worried that if she slapped him, he would lose half his life even if he didn't die... So he hurriedly used the Rune, while quietly pointing at the bald tattooed man passing by them: "I didn't say that. I heard this person muttering when he passed by just now, saying you look like Peppa's mother... although I think what he said is not wrong."

Although the last sentence was completely worth a sound beating, this girl seemed to have unconsciously ignored it, and her hateful gaze quickly locked onto that innocent man...

Absorbed Shen Xiaozhu's Resentment, +999

Seeing this girl rush over with big strides, the blue and white skirt hem fluttering lightly in the summer wind, her arm swung in a graceful arc and slapped the back of the man's head, emitting a crisp "pop" sound, causing the other party to stagger.

The man was completely bewildered. Who the hell hit me? I was just walking properly, and I get treated like this?

Absorbed Yang Yingxiong's Resentment, +99

However, he wasn't a coward either; he immediately climbed up to strike back at the intruder. A mere woman, did she eat a bear's heart and leopard's gallbladder to dare to offend me, your brother?

One side is a sturdy man, the other is a heroine among women, but one is an ordinary person and one is an Awakened. In this chaotic battle, who will be the winner?

Zhang Wei also didn't expect them to start fighting like this. The result he originally expected—at most a few words of argument—completely evolved into another situation, which made him feel so ashamed that he immediately ran over to break up the fight...

But as soon as he spoke, he saw the girl's hateful gaze glare over, looking as if she had realized something, but fortunately, she was entangled with that man and couldn't get away.

"Uh... haha, the weather is really nice today."

Zhang Wei knew something was wrong, hurriedly laughed it off, and dragged Bai Guagua away, quickly disappearing from the girl's sight.

Although he still couldn't accurately calculate the correct usage of this Rune, he figured it should be about right—this made him more certain of his previous guess: the Rune is a materialized application method of Resentment.

Otherwise, a normal person's approach should be to go over and question first, and at least have a confrontation; they wouldn't just believe his words all of a sudden, ignore him as if rage had clouded their brain, and run off to hit someone without saying another word.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and decided to tentatively name this Rune "You Are Blind."

Bai Guagua looked at him a bit strangely and couldn't help but say: "Why didn't I notice before that you could be such a troublemaker?"

Zhang Wei was speechless and really didn't know how to answer. But it was more than just being a troublemaker; thinking about it carefully, his behavior could simply be called insane.

In order not to corrupt the girl and establish bad values and behavioral standards for her, Zhang Wei sincerely reflected on himself and warned Bai Guagua that doing this was very wrong!

After talking for a long time, he didn't expect the bun-faced girl to finally say lightly: "Actually, you didn't have to run. That dead Fatty's Awakening isn't much; I can take on three by myself."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei felt the sweat that had just subsided break out again.

The road to teaching a girl is long and arduous.

Setting the Letian Supermarket on fire seemed not only to have failed to sound the alarm in the hearts of the citizens of Rongcheng, but instead, they talked about it with great relish—who told this supermarket to be so unpopular?

Zhang Wei's WeChat group talked about this matter quite a bit, and even the messages in the class group had exploded to over a thousand. Except for some parts that were exaggerated, the gossip actually restored the whole ins and outs of the matter almost perfectly.
